The Time Machine In A London Cemetery | Brompton Cemetery

[@DontknowY1111]

Many people talking about it being “over grown”. The meadow flowers are left to grow long in the summer to benefit the insects and wildlife in the cemetery. It’s very good that these old graves are now habitats for nature and not sterile lawn. I live round here and it really is amazing how much nature is inside this urban area. Interestingly, plants that people planted on the graves of their loved ones a hundred years ago come up again year after year. If they were ‘weed whacked’ then this wouldn’t happen. Sometimes it’s good to have a hands off approach and let nature do it’s thing. A difficult thing for some people to understand I suppose!

[@janetslicer3637]

There is nothing like these cemeteries that make up the magnificent seven. They are extraordinary and you are so very fortunate to have them. Their history is forever.

[@claudiadesoto2378]

What a beautiful cemetery, I could walk there everyday from Indiana USA

[@gaynorsmallman1208]

I find it extraordinary how much space and effort is given over to the dead in pretty much every country. Death is so utterly uniquely celebrated and yet in so many ways, it’s all the same and inevitable. I’m grateful for these quiet beautiful spaces as they evoke something irreverent and calm as well as mysterious too.

[@melindamunoz625]

Your appreciation of the squirrels is absolutely charming ❤

The old cemeteries are so interesting and full of history! 😊

[@joanhatten6569]

Loved all these old Graves. Wish I could take a trip to London to walk around them and take a look around. Thank you for the tour. Love it

[@deadgoodwalks]

Maybe one day Joan. Thanks for watching x

[@boombasett6038]

Beautiful ! the monuments were created before all the technology we have now. this must have been back-breaking work! The Artistry on these tombs and headstones!

[@deadgoodwalks]

Thats what I love the most about these places Boom

[@edwardrodgers9383]

Beautiful cemetery!✝️

[@littletroll]

It's all so very beautiful! I could spends weeks there, taking photos of the statues and crosses.

[@williammullikin2076]

this place is so beautiful, love that it was being used as a recreational area where there were joggers and cyclists, the minimal landscaping with the tall grass and flowers is a beautiful look

[@julieshepherd5989]

Beautiful cemetery, thanks for the tour. See you on the next one. Hope you feel better soon. Take care, we need you!😊🥀🌻🌹💖

Hello Julie

[@joelhurley2678]

What gorgeous monuments. Thanks for sharing this beautiful cemetery.

[@ramonapetermann9585]

I am astonished, that there are bicycles and even dogs allowed on this cemetery! This is an absolute no-go on German cemeteries. I love animals, but let dogs sh..... into the bushes of a cemetery, maybe even on a grave that nobody tends anymore, where the headstone or the cross has fallen or sunken into the ground, this seems rather odd to me. The squirrels are really sweet, I would like to go there just to bring them nuts or something. The place in itself is quite remarkable with these lots of graves and crosses, and all of these differ from another, this was real art and beautiful to behold. Nowadays the graves nearly all look the same in one or the other way, a pity.

[@Sandra-ww6oz]

Thankyou so much totally breathtaking - it's like a City in itself. I loved the squirrels they are like these friendly keepers of the Cemetery - reminded me of Nutkins and his friends from Peter Rabbit. Best wishes and good vibes from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧☮️🙏🐨🦘

[@julieblackstock8650]

I love the terrace above the catacombs.

It was a joy to walk around them, felt very peaceful

I tried to go today to Brompton Cemetery, unfortunately, the weather wasn't that good as I left home with just a T-shirt on me and when I went to Bond Street station to take the bus 74 that would take me to the cemetery, it was bloody windy and cold (no freezing but cold) and there was no sunshine so I gave up my trip to the cemetery but I will try again on Wednesday ........ I've been to Algate Cemetery, Edmonton Cemetery and the one by Stamford Hill (close to the Jewish area), they are interesting places, full of history and kind of sadness and loneliness.

[@stevenpayne850]

I was nearby in Earl's Court for a summer in the early 90s. The crypts under the colonnades had been destroyed and pretty much ransacked. London was just beginning to invest in restoring this central location. I loved walking through this beautiful monument daily. I learned much about the people who rested there, largely in peace and quiet.

[@badgerattoadhall]

American here; i have actually visited this cemetery. it would be cool if you did a collaboration with faces of the forgotten.

Thank you so much, great as always ....This cemetery is fascinating and its the first I have heard about a time machine with the Egyptian writing, very interesting indeed. Its so big this cemetery yet so peaceful. And I love the precious Squirrels.

[@heru-deshet359]

Perhaps H.G. Wells got the the Time Machine story idea from tomb story and Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars from the tomb teleportation stories? Perhaps the lost key opens the tomb and turns on the time machine? 😁

[@sarahsaxon1745]

The squirrels will follow you around, and you can actually handfeed them. I met an old lady there once, years ago. She had bags of nuts, and seeds, and had a group of squirrels surrounding her, who she was hand feeding. She told me she had done it daily, for years.

[@Mari-B]

I laughed when the guy said something, and you thought he said, "Hi Stumpy." He was weird! Love all of your videos! I am going back watching older ones. 👋

[@remyberry4582]

06:31 - they filmed an episode of the Crown on Netflix, in this very spot recently. Season 5 episode 3 - if you forward to 44:28 - you can see you were stood in the exact spot the camera pans around. It looks like they placed a fake grave on the ground to film. I knew I recognised this spot as soon as I saw your video.

Hi Dan! Unless your using your mobile to film anything, there is a really good torch on that you can use to see inside! Lovely cemetery! Like that they are keeping part for wild flowers, flora and fauna… would have loved to have known if those two time travellers actually managed it…the mind boggles, but never say never.,,,they didn’t say they went in body form, so probably their spirits are together doing that travelling! Awesome idea! Great video Dan…lot of shoe leather worn away with that walk, but some beautiful graves and statues ….we won’t see many of those in the future sadly, imagine the cost of a life size Angel!! 😳 Enjoyed the video as always, many thanks for taking US travelling! ☕️👏👏👏👩‍🦳🎄🎄🙏🫶.

[@alexmguimaraes9399]

04:26 no egyptian hieroglyphics on the mausoleum door! None refer to the way the Egyptians wrote in the time of the pharaohs!!

[@deadgoodwalks]

It's true that the victorians didn't know what the hieroglyphics meant as there was no translation at the time. Hopefully it doesn't say anything rude, but I think it's just gibberish

[@toddgreve6587]

American cemeteries, most anyway, weed whack the tall grass and weeds around the tombstones. How come that's not done in such a beautiful place?

[@richhughes7450]

I've said before, that if you want peace and quiet and a sence of historic atmos with unspoilt nature a graveyard is the place to go. Unless its next to a bleeding airport lol.

[@davidryley4162]

I am very surprised, you never mentioned Sir Frederick Thesiger 3rd Baron Chelmsford Zulu war. He is a Brompton cemetary resident. I was gutted you missed him out.

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

Apropos that Ms Pankhursts marker is brown. I hope the King's horse wasn't hurt in her death. Invest in a telescoping swiffer duster so you can clear the cobwebs before shoving your camera in for a view. Also you can look for a high power camping flashlight that is rechargeable online. I have a 2 million candle power flas....torch for such things!

[@reubenroo]

It wasn’t Emmeline Pankhurst who stepped in front of the King’s horse. It was Emily Wilding Davison. Emmeline died in a nursing home in Hampstead. A far less traumatic end👍

I thought the Tardis was the only time machine in Britain? Maybe the two are meeting up with Dr. Who! What a beautiful place to ride a bike. My husband and I both love to ride and that looks like a great place to do so. John Jackson was a bare fisted boxer. He had various athletes on the sides of his tomb which were removed.
